Firefox NoScript ABE not working as expected

Question

I use NoScript and ABE and most of the time I am successful and happy with it. I thought I understand the way it works (at least the basics). But for some websites, it just does NOT work the way I expect it to do.

For example: There is this map here on opencaching.de. It needs the following scripts:

opencaching.de
maps.googleapis.com
mts1.googleapis.com

If I whitelist them all in NoScript, the map shows. When I switch on ABE, it does not work.

I tried:

1. use ABE with no USER rules specified at all: works

2. use ABE with just a single rule like this: does not work

   Site maps.googleapis.com mts1.googleapis.com
   Accept from opencaching.de
   Deny
   

What am I getting wrong here?

Answer 1

if you go here and here, you can clearly see they return 404 errors! Adding www. in front fixes this and returns to google.com

According to the ABE rules pdf, in their examples they seem to either add a . or a *. in front of their URLs

I think

Site .maps.googleapis.com .mts1.googleapis.com
Accept from .opencaching.de
Deny

Or maybe even

Site .googleapis.com
Accept from .opencaching.de
Deny

Might work! You could also try *.
